I'm attending the university of Utrecht where I study Business
Informatics. I got my bachelor's degree in Information Sciences
last year.

I can't live a day without my music. Everything ranging from pop to
rock to death metal and the occasional industrial, d&b and
techno. You might say i'm a musicophiliac of sorts. If you see me
walking down the street, there's a good chance i'll be wearing
headphones, rendering me clinically deaf.

During my free time I either watch a lot of movies or visit the
local pubs with friends. As a hobby I mostly read, watch movies and
stand-up, and of course I spend some time online enjoying the glory
of the internet.

I used to think the whole 'I'm shy at first' story was a uniquely
honest thing to say on here, until I noticed nearly everybody does
it.

Right now I'm working on my masters degree in Information Sciences
at the Utrecht University. When i'm not too busy i'll be hanging
out at my fraternity (or whatever the dutch version should be
called), or hanging out with mates in and around Utrecht.

Talking to an imaginary audience because that's totally sane and
normal. Why are you looking at me like that?

Making soundtracks for my life. Every significant 'chapter' has
it's own songs to go with it.

Boring you with everything you (n)ever wanted to know about
stand-up comedy.

I used to be obsessed with inspirational quotes, which has slowly
devolved into voraciously absorbing entire debates. Now I watch
lectures and debates for fun (I know right?) by the modern day
wizards of words (Stephen Fry, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett,
James Randy, Lawrence Krauss, A.C. Grayling, Oliver Sacks, Nigel
Farage, the late Christopher Hitchens etc. etc.)

Books: Harry Potter, His Dark Materials, Artemis Fowl, The
Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy, Metro 2033, 1984 and anything by
Stephen King and Dan Brown. I am to literature what a 12 year old
'I only listen to the top 40' girl is to music.

Movies: V for Vendetta, Limitless, Waking Life, Sin City,
Equilibrium, The Spirit, The Adjustment Bureau, Memento, The Number
23, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Stardust, The Shawshank
Redemption, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Serenity (firefly),
The Book of Eli, The Road, The Lovely Bones, Daybreakers, Kiss Kiss
Bang Bang, Seven Pounds, Stand Up Guys, Filth, Enders Game, Repo
Men, Remember Me (a.k.a. the Robbert Pattinson redemption), Shutter
Island, Warrior, Snowpiercer, Jumper, 21 Jump Street (the sequel is
shit), Stand Up guys, Enders Game, Splice, The Departed, The Secret
Life of Walter Mitty. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Too many things. Not high-level philosophy but some of this shit
must be worth writing down. How small are we compared to the vast
emptiness of space? What went through the head of the first guy
that tried to inhale burning leaves? Which of my friends would be
the most valuable in a zombie apocalypse? Could I convince the
world to elect me as glorious leader?
